Yeah, I get that. My question is if the flexbox mechanics (e.g.
align-self: stretch) should be considered setting the height explicitly.
If this isn't possible (I'm no implementer, obviously), is there any way
to achieve effect I'm looking for? I think it's a very common use case:
a horizontal list of links (like a menu bar), where the links themselves
are all the same height, even if some have line breaks and some don't.
